2016 Honda HR-V Makes Early Appearance Before LA Debut
Honda has rolled out its new HR-V small crossover in front of the iconic Randy’s Donuts in Los Angeles, just two days before it makes its official debut at the LA Auto Show.
Honda released photos of the HR-V previously but this is the first time we’ve had an opportunity to see the new crossover up close and personal. Set to be positioned below the CR-V in the Japanese automaker’s lineup, the 2016 HR-V is based on the same compact platform as the new 2015 Honda Fit and could even be powered by the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine found in the compact hatch.

This is going to be a huge winner for Honda. Can't wait for pricing!
Of what I've seen so far, I like the exterior design (though I'd gladly pay extra for the LED headlights of the Japanese "Vezel" version). As far as these photos, I'd really like to know why photographers often like to shoot the vehicle while apparently on their knees? Are they trying to make the car look... bigger? Why? Anyway, now we wait for info on engine/transmissions.
